You’ve Been Putting Your Garbage Bags In The Wrong Way This Whole Time
pubsub.dcentralisedmedia.com / LifehackerAustralia · Tuesday, 9 February, 2021 - 04:30 · 1 minute
TikTok just seems to be the gift that keeps on giving. This week, users have been sharing their favourite hacks that have become standard practice in everyday life. One particularly noteworthy example is a neat trick for separating your egg yolk from the whites.
There are plenty of occasions in cooking that require you to separate an egg yolk from the gooey whites. Perhaps you’re whipping up a meringue and need to rid yourself of those pesky yellow blobs. Or, maybe you only want the yolks and have no need for the white soup around it.
Carrying out the action of separation, however, is easier said than done. The egg-shell method is a common choice, but it’s not always effective. So, short of stabbing the yolk with a fork to remove it, what else can you do?
TikTok has come through with a video hack on how to perfectly separate your egg yolk from its pool of whites. And all you need is a clove of garlic.
Observe.

An easy way to separate your egg yolks and whites
As the user @golddiary shows us above, garlic and eggs do go together – quite beautifully, in fact.
Here’s what you need to do:
Garlic works in mysterious ways, and one of these is its ability to serve as a sticking device for egg yolk. As you can see in the video, no fork, ladle or spoon is required here. Gently pinching the egg in your fingers allows it to be removed cleanly from the whites.
This gives you a perfect yellow yolk or a yolk-free bowl of whites for all your cooking needs.
This isn’t the first TikTok egg hack that’s had us raving. For example, did you know you can peel hard-boiled eggs by blowing on them? You can read our write up to find out more!

Wondering what the heck to make for dinner tonight? I know how it is. Lucky for you, we’ve been blessed with the news of a viral cooking hack that might help a little. And you better believe I’m about to share it here with you all.
As 7 News has recently shared, an Australian mum’s trick for nailing roast potatoes has gained a whole lot of attention online because of how simple her approach is.
Dropping her wisdom on the Mums Who Clean Facebook page, Vicki revealed that her secret to cooking drool-worthy potatoes is, wait for it… dry French Onion soup mix.
In the post, which won Vicki a whole lot of attention when she published it a few months back, the Aussie mum wrote:
“When doing roast spuds, peel, cut and place in a baking dish then …. get French Onion dry soup mix and sprinkle over top of spuds. Then sprinkle your oil over that and bake. It’s the only way I do roast spuds now.”
You can pick up a packet of French Onion soup mix for as little as $0.45 at Coles and Woolworths if you’d like to transform your taters tonight.
Want to step up your potato cooking game even further? Well, according to Family Food on the Table you can cook these little spuds in the microwave in 10 minutes if you want to skip the whole oven situation. ( As we recently discovered , you can also microwave sweet potatoes.)
Getty Baked PotatoThey’ve written that if you want to try this approach, you should poke each potato five to six times with a fork, then toss them straight onto the microwave plate for 10 to 11 minutes (this is for two medium-sized potatoes).
To check if your potatoes are ready, the Family Food on the Table website recommends giving them a squeeze (wear an oven mitt or use a tea towel) and checking if they begin to open up. You can find the full write up here .
Ta-da! Perfect (and easy) potatoes.

Today in things that make me question everything about my adult life, I’ve learnt that I have never (not once) put a garbage bag into a bin the right way before.
This seemingly simple task has never really been one I’ve spent much time thinking about if I’m being completely honest. I’ve always just taken my garbage bag of choice, shaken it to shit to get some air in there, and proceeded to line my bin with it.
Easy, right? Apparently, not.
As this newly-viral TikTok video has shown me – and a bunch of other people – the most popular means of lining a bin is completely incorrect.
TikTok creator @edieobanion recently shared a video in which she trials the correct way to line a bin with a garbage bag, and it’s shocking how much easier this approach seems.
In the video, you see Edie demonstrating the standard “shake the shit out of the bag” technique with the caption, “Don’t do this. The bags come inside out.”
Then, along with the caption “do this instead” she shows the correct bin-lining technique.
How to insert a garbage bag correctly
Here is what her TikTok video teaches us.
Step 1. Take the edges of the garbage bag (or the opening of the bag) and pull it over the top of your bin.
Step 2. From here, all you need to do is tuck the body of the garbage bag into the bin.
Doing it this way will leave you with a bin lining that’s the correct way around, and it also means you don’t have to tire out your arms shaking a bag around every time you need to put a bag in the bin.
